child process exits and closes parent's connections
I have a server that spawns a separate process to handle credit card transactions (64-bit server, but the credit card library is only available in 32-bit form), and when the child process ends, it closes the server instance's network connection and database connection because it co-owns the file descriptors that represent those connections. is there any way I can prevent this from happening? I don't care if the child closes its own copies of the descriptors, but it would be nice if I could prevent it from closing the parent's connections.
